Purdue is the james harden of the big ten. Basically every possession is a violation of some sort, they just don’t call it.
Rutgers vs Purdue / Game Thread
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
5-10 from 3 is pretty sick for us but Baker needs to get involved more in the offense.
it really sucks that Eugene is out because it really takes us out of these games in the end. The big positive is Mathis is growing exponentially

We should not be trying to run with these guys. I mentioned in the prediction thread that running may help Mathis and Harper score more, but we’ll get buried by Purdue’s offense by giving them more shot attempts.
Think of it this way, every other B1G team has better shooters than us, so why give them more shots?

It took us 6 years to play the worst team of northwestern in football but it seems like we play @ Purdue every year in hoops
Baker is too lose and street for this league. Don't see any good guards who dribble and pass weak and without purpose.
Want to see strong? Look at Mathis.
You gotta love how he roots for his former coach
Too many turnovers and not enough consistent scoring results in a 40-30 half time score.Mathis really impressive with the 3 pointers and floaters on drives to the basket.Refs missed calling goal tending on Kiss layup and Rutgers isn't getting fouls called against Purdue post players.Rutgers had open 3 point shots that were missed .Hard to win on the road when Rutgers struggles to even score 65 points against league opponents.
This has a secondary effect. The team not being called plays looser and more aggressive once they have been emboldened. On the other hand, once you get a call or two against you you’ve become tentative on defense.
goodnight Irene...shooting matters
Purdue is impressive in transition, we are so far away from that
49-32

OK, we just blow. The ref's could call 50 fouls on Purdue and we'd still get beat by 15.
It’s amazing how other teams can go on a 3 ball barrage but we can’t.
Was out and about so listened to the first half and am now home watching. Easy game when you can shoot. Will we ever have great shooters like so many other teams seem to have? For a few games, it looked like we might, but then reality set in.
This, and I don't get how he hits the front of the rim coming out of the half like he has no legs yet again
our fans get giddy because a players make a shot or two...at other schools making shots is the norm..they have expectations to score alot...at RU its a party to hit 70.
we will need legit 3 pt threats brought in for the next two years...its mandatory....no excuses
I didn't think we would come close in this game so not really disappointed. More shocked at how Purdue has lost a game this season. They are the most impressive B1G team I watch every single year for the last 3 years.
Because he is always stepping back to shoot. His hurky jerky style will never generate game over game consistency. That is why he is so hot and cold. Rarely going towards the basket.
this is the best Ive seen them this year, they have not played like this but seem to be gelling lately....the win over Wisconsin was a big boost for them on the road.
I think its more of a case of RU not making any shots is playing right into Purdues gameplan
Can talk about a lot of aspects of the game but what really matters is shooting. In today's game you need 3 point shooters and lots of them
We floundered the first half? - 50% from three and 50% from the field. We didn't stop anybody.
this has been said for 27 years now, we are really far away...as in the recruiting needs to get better
